Abstract

This research study aims to find the relationship between the scores for the Purdue Spatial Visualization test (PSVT) and the Wonderlic Personnel test (WPT) for American collegiate football players. Fifty-five collegiate football players took part in the study by attempting the PSVT and the WPT. The scores on these tests were compared to find if there existed a correlation between the scores on both these tests. The results showed that the scores on both these tests had a significant correlation with respect to each other. But, the group that took the WPT before the PSVT showed a lower correlation between the scores. It was also observed that the age of the participants had a low/negative correlation to the scores on both the PSVT and the WPT, which can be a important topic of future research. The study proposes a more dynamic visualization measurement, which will be able to help scouts and coaches predict performance of athletes over a period of time.
